The daughter of Kamala Harris’ running mate Tim Walz shares her thoughts on Democrats’ devastating loss to Donald Trump, saying the country didn’t deserve the vice president.
Hope Walz, 23, appeared on TikTok on Thursday sporting a blue hoodie and a messy bun to break her silence and give some post-election shots while sitting on a couch eating SpongeBob SquarePants mac and cheese.
“I’ve officially reached the point of anger, and I’m not an angry person, so I’m just trying to channel it,” Walz shared with her 65,000 followers.
“This country does not deserve Kamala Harris,” Walz said.
“That woman should live her best life wherever she wants and do whatever she wants because we don’t deserve her right now,” he said.
Walz came to know the vice president like family while furiously campaigning for the Democratic presidential nomination after his father, the Minnesota governor, was chosen as Harris’ running mate in August.
Hope Walz watched a video on TikTok where she shared her post-election thoughts. She said the country doesn’t deserve Vice President Harris and she’s angry.
Walz was seen at campaign events with her father across the country as she met with voters. He also delivered some memorable content on online social media about their close relationship during the campaign.
Walz criticized voters in the less than two-minute video, saying the only people who carried this election were black women and “we failed them.”
“It’s just heartbreaking and we’re going to do everything we can to support them and support our people for the next four years,” Walz said, shaking his head.
That’s when Walz seemed to get angrier as he spoke. He said Trump and his running mate JD Vance have to be Trump and Vance, and it’s not a punishment he would wish on anyone but them.

“I’m really grateful to be who I am and to be on the side of love, hope, joy and progress,” she said.
Walz said that as time goes on, he hopes to have more thoughts and plans to share on TikTok, calling the social media platform a good outlet.
“I’m giving myself the week to be sad and regret what could have been, what should have been, but that’s not where we are and that’s not the reality,” he said.
She said after her week of coming to terms with it is when “the work begins.”
“We have this America, we are going to be fine,” he concluded.
The video already has more than 105,000 likes on TikTok.
“Thoughts from the second day after the election, support your people, lean into the community, prioritize love over hate, we will be fine,” he wrote in the caption.

In another TikTok, Walz showed her and her younger brother Gus driving a car together and celebrating that they were able to hit the road together for the first time without the Secret Service.
“Finally free,” his 18-year-old brother chimed in.
Walz said he wouldn’t describe it that way, but admitted it’s a little strange and feels liberating.
The two were listening to ‘I Won’t Back Down’ by Tom Petty.
She shared that they appreciate everyone and that her father is ‘doing very well.’
Hope Walz posted this image of her father Tim Walz on Instagram and TikTok on November 7.
“He’s ready to continue the fight here in Minnesota because it will be a safe place for all people,” Walz said.
Both brothers insisted that everything will be fine.
His third TikTok was a simple image of his father wearing a hoodie and sitting on a couch with his cat on his lap. Tupac’s song ‘Keep Ya Head Up’.
‘We will recharge and then continue fighting for all our rights!’ she wrote with the post.
